Ezri Konsa injury: Arsenal handed new scare as defender withdraws from England squad

Ezri Konsa has withdrawn early from the England squad to return to Arsenal for assessment, ruling him out of Tuesday's clash against the Czech Republic. The defender had previously completed the full 90 minutes in England's 7-0 victory over Croatia, despite managing a minor issue earlier in the international break.

Konsa's potential setback adds to Arsenal's defensive concerns, with fellow centre-back William Saliba already sidelined by a long-term back problem. The Gunners next face Leeds on Saturday in the Premier League, having already seen Kai Havertz and Christos Tzolis return early from international duty.
